Folks, you can use what you want but if you put your EEE finish under a microscope you will not see the smoothness you get by going all the way to 12000 of MM or with other sub 1mu (micron) finishes and then adding a "finish" wax or polish on top of that.
I use a similar product here in Japan to what RedfishSC noted above. My "next to last" finish/polish contains .2micron abrasives ( 2/10 of a micron). I also use paint polish that contains no abrasives but is a wax/lanolin base that uses the applicator (paper towel/suede/cloth) as the abrasive. Great shines.
I know that with the use of EEE, you were able to get a great shine as maybe compared to what you were expecting, but IMO, there are higher levels of shine available without much more effort - than what EEE alone gives. Even the makers of EEE would probably agree:
On EEE's web site:
"EEE-Ultra Shine is not a finish for raw wood.
When EEE is used on a lathe over raw timber it produces a brilliant shine. Do not be fooled into leaving the wood like this. It is the timber shining from abrading and burnishing. There is no finish on the wood. Because of this the timber will dull in a short period of time from moisture in the air, steam, humidity, etc. This is because the timber is still raw.
Please use a finish over the top preferably one of the Shellawaxes, which are 100% compatible with the EEE. If using another finish over the EEE do a test piece first as the waxes in the EEE might stop the final finish from adhering to the timber."
1. Note that it is an abrasive;
2. EEE is NOT a "finish".
3. Note that they recommend using a finish (wax) over the EEE.

While the above is in direct reference to application over raw wood, application to use over CA and other finishes can be drawn similarly.
